Hi,
I stumbled along your site when I was trying to find questions for my Native American stories. I am a new teacher and finals are coming. Talk about overwhelmed. I was looking for some test questions for “The Earth on The Turtle’s Back”, “When Grizzlies Walked Upright”, and
“The Iroquois Constitution”. If you could help me out or point me to a great website, I would remember you for all of my teaching years. Today was graduation and I was so happy to see my seniors graduate. I was so inspired by the day, but now I’m like cramming to get this final done…..
Thanks,
“Newbie Teacher” Jenifer
